| The Commonwealth Games in Glesga So far hiv bin praiseworthy Apairt fae the openin fifteen meenits Fit a fun a bit cringeworthy . The spectators hiv bin fantastic Their noisy appreciation ti the fore Nae at ony time hiv a said Es is sic a bliddy bore . Competitors hiv aa deen their bit Some elated some in shock Wi lots o smiles an some tears Efterwards fin they took stock . Weel deen ti the organisers Maist things gyaan withoot a hitch Lit’s hope aat es cairries on An fowk can traivel withoot a glitch . Nae ony trouble or arrests Fowk jist enjoyin the fare Cheerin on freen or foe Be they sweemer or rugby player |
Nae sign o Neanderthal bigots At national anthems nae jeerin Jist gweed aal-farrant rivalry An lots an lots o cheerin . Nae anti-English or anti-Scottish Ti spyle the fowks day oot Fitba fans shud tak heed An gie aa bigotry the boot . Ae thing we hiv bin spared Es micht hae caused some ire Is the sicht o Alex Salmond Ahint the podiums wi Saltire . Weel deen ti aa concerned ‘Speecially the fowk o Glesga toon Ye’ve deen yersels richt prood An nae lit auld Scotia doon. . . . . ©Bob Smith “The Poetry Mannie” 2014 |
